This ia great DVD for jogging/running on the treadmill. Most of it takes you through forest paths, a few sections take you on open roads. The only things I don’t like about the dvd:
1. After several minutes of scenery from one stretch of “road” it will switch to another “stretch” of road.
2. I am not a fast runner (around 5 mph) and the 12 mph it is filmed at seems a bit fast paced.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this dvd to anyone running on the treadmill! I previously purchased Scenic Trex Rainforest and this dvd will definitely be used more!
Rating: 4 / 5
Good product, they need to off more! Works well in the winter / treadmill months!

I bought this DVD, along with the Scenic Trex Jungle and Beach Trail walk, and have used both over the last three weeks. This one is much better. It is shot wide-angle, so you can see the sky and see to your side in your “peripheral” vision. The camera is stable, at eye-level to an adult. The speed isn’t perfect – 5mph is too slow for treadmill work, 12mph is too fast – but otherwise, it is outstanding. The Scenic Trex walk through the jungle isn’t nearly as good, the lens is not wide-angle, the pace is too slow, it’s a narrow jungle trail that I find at times to be a little suffocating. The Fitness Journeys camera path is always on a road or a wide trail, and I feel like I can take a breath. It’s easy to imagine you are running in the early morning of a sunny day in late spring. Just what I wanted.

I love the beautiful photography; it is a work of art. It makes me feel that I am on a hiking trail.
The disk contains lovely bird sounds that enhance any type of music. You may listen to the nature sounds without any music or you may mute the bird sounds.
Please make more disks like this!!

I just got finished ‘walking through the forest’ on my treadmill. I enjoyed it and can see that it would be great for certain purposes.
-If you want to blot out the world and think of nothing.
-If you want to do some serious thinking and don’t want anything distracting as you walk/run/cycle/or even use your elliptical machine through the forest.
-This DVD would even be great to run in the background while you are reading or studying and not walking/running/cycling/ellipticalizng (new word), etc.
You can use these if you are an all-out fast-forward runner, prefer moderate walking/cycling or elliptical like me, or some combination.
I found myself getting into the moment. I think I saw a deer, but I’m not sure. I enjoyed being able to ’safely’ go for a walk in the country on a very cold day when I wouldn’t last out there for 10 minutes.
It was great that most of the time there was nothing and nobody there. I even got a little annoyed when I saw a couple of cars parked on “my” country road.
Gorgeous? If you love beautiful trees. If you are looking for excitement or distraction, this isn’t it. If you enjoy the countryside and can’t always get there, have a broken leg, sprained ankle, want to take some of the stress out of your life, it’s worth a try.
I like it! I won’t use it every day because I would get tired of it. I’ve ordered several more and can’t wait to try those in the next few days, especially the one by the ocean beach. I’ll come back and review those as soon as I get them. That’s one more advantage. I have real motivation to go upstairs to my gym and work out on those machines, so I can try out my new walking paths.
